nextCloud/ownCloud faces the issue that it can do a lot more than only file hosting, e.g. it has a calendar and a notes application, resulting in your server quickly becoming a single point of failure. I admit that it is a reasonably good file hosting service though.

Notes: To be honest, I have not found a good "self-hosted Evernote" just yet. For the moment, I work with org-mode, but, while the Android app (Orgzly) is lovely, the desktop version might not be suitable for everyone, especially since it is not WYSIWYG.

NextCloud (at least the NextCloudPi option) has backup features built in, both for files and the database.

It's trivial to set up secure backups. With NextCloudPi having basically zero hardware costs it's highly feasible to setup multiple systems and have them either federate (i.e. work like other cloud services) or use as off-site backup.

I'm using Seafile, never had a problem, the sync is faster then with Nexctloud. I use it to backup my photos from my Iphone and also to sync files that i need. In a nutshell Seafile is fast, easy and smooth to use

As per note taking and and personal documentation i use Bookstack, another awesome piece of software
